I wanted to be an animator. I worked hard to be an animator. Then i became an animator. Then i lived as a successful animator for 17 years. Then i left being an animator.

And now im jobless, dreamless, hopeless, and so lost, with no mentors and no idea of what to do.

sometimes i wish i didnt commit to knowing what i wanted to do as a kid.
 
I wanted to be a "doctor seagull" when I was 2 or 3. Whatever that is.

Oh wait it's this:

I guess I wanted to give up being human to make the other seagulls not be sick.

Or was just too dumb to function!

My first ever dream jobs that I remember were astronomer and pro athlete. I've been hardcore into science and sports when I was a kid so it makes sense.

Funnily enough, a games journalist since I was quite young. Went to University for journalism, absolutely hated it, quit within a month and just went into computing (programming) like I inevitably always would have done.

It was ultimately a good thing. I was born too late - I usually hate when people use that phrase, but in this specific content, it's right. The games journalism I wanted to do as a kid doesn't really exist now and I don't want to be a Youtuber.

Football (soccer player)

One broken femur, one torn ACL, one chronically dislocating shoulder cap and 4 surgeries later, that didn't pan out!

It was a hell of a ride.
